Leader's notes

Although this isn’t a long hike, its 900-ish ft elevation gain is nothing to underestimate. Youth and adult participants must possess an adequate level of fitness. However, the pace will be slow to accommodate the scavenger hunt.

We will hike as a group, so please do not expect to charge ahead of the group at a faster pace.

Parking at the trailhead may be crowded, so carpooling is recommended if feasible.
